In a Harp's Song

In a harp’s song, the strings flow
Pulling at moments, to gently go
Beyond the last note, light as air
Tumbling thoughts without care
Seeking time to abandon matter
A heart’s hymn, heaven’s patter
Pouring through a golden frame
A circle, where Earth brings rain
Crashing waves, God in thunder
Around, then through, to under
Notes resolving, one to another
Nothing diminished, like mother
In the end, love will rise as yeast
Feeding each other, first to least
In a harp’s song, the music sows

A Penny for Your Thoughts

I found a penny
Scouring the world for change
Need to find a job

Prisoners of War

Igniting fuses
California terror bombs
The Terminator

Spiritual Origins

To dream in haiku
Drifting on a lily pad
Ripples in the sheets

Struck by Faith

Thunderous mountains
Lightning igniting my soul
God moves the mountains

Fallen Angels

Black roses of earth
Incinerated blossoms
Thorns of living Hell

Shades on Truth

Black and white living
Grey equals ambivalence
Truth is never grey
